Brigos EDC Pouch Review
This is the pouch that carries my emergency kit, and it has saved my butt a few times. It is a pretty compact kit that lets me have all these different tools with me all the time.
It is not the lightest, but to me it is the kit that works best of any I've had. The layout is a little confusing, but it hasn't been an issue for me yet.
I just got it a couple of weeks ago, moved into it, and I don't think I'm going to look back. The quality is high, and it is a little larger than my previous pouch, which lets me fit things more comfortably. Overall, it's a great product.
Roaring Fire sent me this pouch to review. They did not pay for this review, and everything I say is my honest opinion.
Check buying optionsPros
- It is a high quality pouch, and a little larger than my previous one, so things fit more comfortably.
- The zippers are YKK and waterproof.
- There is an RFID pocket at the front, a pretty nice feature if you want to use it as a wallet or carry some extra cards.
- It opens book style, so everything is within reach once it is open.
- The hook and loop panel on the front takes morale patches.
Cons
- The layout is a little confusing.
- There is only one zipper, so you have to use that one zipper to open it.
- When you are carrying larger things, the four small elastic loops in the front become unusable.
- Closed one way, two of the small pockets seem to be upside down. I am not sure what the intent is there.
- It is not the lightest.

Size and build
This pouch is wider than it is tall. It is about 6 inches by 4 and a quarter, and a little over an inch thick, though mine is stuffed pretty full.
It retails for about $21.99 on Amazon. The listing is black nylon. Mine is actually a kind of brown, almost X-Pac material.
It has YKK zippers that are waterproof. There is an RFID pocket at the front, and that is a pretty nice feature if you want to use it as a wallet or just carry some extra cards.
Layout
One of the things I will note with this pouch is that the layout, to me, is a little confusing. From the front you see two tones, with hook and loop to attach morale patches or anything sewn on.
There is only one zipper, so you have to use that one zipper to open it. Then everything is within reach, which is wonderful. It opens kind of book style.
There are a few elastic loops where I carry a couple of things, and four more little ones in the front. When you are carrying larger things, those become unusable. There is a large pocket on the back, a couple of small pockets in the opposite direction for shorter things, and a zipper pocket.
One of the confusing things to me is that if you close it, those two small pockets seem to be upside down. I'm not sure what the intent is there, but it hasn't been an issue for me yet. It is just something I noticed while using the pouch and getting stuff out.
How I use it
This is kind of my emergency kit. I carry it in my backpack every day, in case anything goes wrong with the kids or I need something on a day-to-day basis that I could fix with just this small pouch.
It is not the lightest, but to me it is the kit that works best of any I've had. It lets me have all of these things handy and compact in my backpack.
I know I can always fix something, tighten a screw, or, if the kids get injured, grab a Band-Aid. It is a little larger than my previous pouch, and that lets me fit things more comfortably.
